About Social Development Agricultural & Reconstruction Organization SDARO:
Social Agricultural Development & Reconstruction Organization (SDARO) is an Afghan legally registered with Ministry of Commerce under License No. 5766 is a national, nongovernmental, non- profitable, non-political, non-partisan and non-sectarian humanitarian organization committed to the development, welfare and humanitarian assistance of Afghans in the country.
The Peace Development and Initiative Organization (PDIO), a non-governmental and non-profitable organization, establised in 2019 has faced vast changes along the current government:
- In order to create a bank account the Minstry of Commerce said that PDIO has to eliminate women from leadership/board of directory and word “Peace” from the title of their NGO.
- The directory board of PDIO was rejected by the DF authorites because the majority and leading positions were women.
- With the coming of DF authorites all previous NGOs whose leadership was in the hands of women were dissolved.
- In order to create a bank account PDIO has changed its name to SDARO and has aligned its name and policies according to the current government.
